How to properly set up VideoCapture Tags

I am having trouble setting up opencv in C++ to manually change these properties, but every time I try I get the warning "An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in OpenCV Code.exe" and an error is thrown.

Here is how I am setting it up (cap is my videocapture object):

cap.set(CV_CAP_PROP_EXPOSURE,0.5);

"System.AccessViolationException" -- that's not an opencv exception, but one from your os. it's probably not the opencv code, but the way, you set up your project.

I see, thank you, do you know the proper format for the properties in order for OPENCV to recognize it also? I know you need a double value, but I am unsure of what range it takes.

can you try again with a simple, opencv console (empty, even, as in : no further assumption) application ?

(noticed, that you were trying to mix opencv and clr code before, which unfortunately is a "straight receipe for desaster" for any noob there)

opencv and clr/cli don't mix happily (being 2 almost orthogonal programming models), avoid the latter.

@berak can you elaborate on what types of code organizations would throw this error?

Unfortunately I cannot, I am trying to implement a windows forms UI which uses clr, is there any way around that error?

in short - don't. (unless you absolutely know, what you're doing with both opencv and win forms.)

also - gui obsession is a typical n00b thing (and a total waste of time). if you're really into computervision, you'll soon find out, that you won't need any of that.

Ok thanks, I will work within opencv's highgui. Do you know by chance where to find the range of values used in the the videocapture properties? I was unable to find anything in the documentation
